A command economy is an economic system where supply, demand, and the prices of goods and services are regulated by a central authority, often the government. This centralized control typically aims to manage a society's economy to ensure equal distribution of resources, rather than relying on market forces.
A regulated industry is one where the government imposes significant controls over its operations, pricing, profits, and sometimes even production methods, to ensure public welfare and market stability.
